Certified Plan Writer
Forest Stewardship Program - Information for Plan Writers
What is Michigan's Forest Stewardship program?
The Forest Stewardship Program is a cost-share program that helps landowners by providing financial and technical assistance on Michigan's non-industrial private forestlands. By providing cost share funds for land management planning, sound management practices are promoted that consider elements important to forest health and vigor: soil, water, wildlife, timber, wetland and other resources and resource values. Once a stewardship management plan is prepared, the landowner may then qualify for assistance in management implementation through other cost share programs (Qualified Forest, EQIP, etc). This program is designed to assist landowners with managing their forested properties.
As a local Forest Resource Consultant, you are a valued partner in this program. To continue and encourage this partnership, we will hold periodic Stewardship plan writer workshops that provide a forum for you to give input on your experience with the Forest Stewardship Program and state standards. We will also update you on any changes to the program, available funding and answer any questions you may have on procedures and requirements.
If you become a Certified Plan Writer through the Michigan DNR Forest Stewardship Program, you have the opportunity to be featured on a list of Certified Plan Writers posted on the DNR website and given to each landowner expressing interest in the program. This list is not an endorsement of any individual or group of contractors, but is a means to aid landowners who participate in the Forest Stewardship Program with hiring a contractor.
As you broaden your client base through Forest Stewardship contacts, we urge you to keep your eyes open for landowners that may benefit from this cost-share effort. As a valued partner, we will be happy to provide you with materials that you can give to interested landowners.
If you have questions or concerns regarding a particular project, or if you can not attend an information session and would still like to become a certified plan writer, please contact the DNR Service Forester for your area:
- Eastern U.P., Ernie Houghten, (906) 786-2351, email@example.com

- Lower Peninsula, Mike Hanley, (517) 284-5865, email@example.com
If you have financial, contractual, or general questions about the program, please call the DNR Stewardship Coordinator, Mike Smalligan, (517) 284-5884, email@example.com.
Minimum qualifications to apply for and maintain your certification as a plan writer:
- Have a four-year degree in forestry or related natural resource field OR have a two-year degree in forestry or related natural resource field with approved experience.

I would like to resurrect the trading thread. I'm assuming, new board or not, that selling things will still be prohibited on the boards. But I'm sure lots of people have something they want to get rid of, and I'd wager that someone else wants it, and they just might have something you need. So let's see what we can trade, folks.
The Rules:
1) No selling. There's no wiggle room on this one. If a poster tries to sell something rather than trade, the post will be deleted immediately.
2) Since there isn't any selling, there should also be no offers to buy made in the thread. If you see something you'd like to have but have nothing to trade, make an offer to the poster via private message.
3) In fact, keep all transactions limited to PMs. This thread should be limited only to posting wants, posting haves, and listing good or bads trades. Any questions about posted books and any offers should be made via PM.
4) Even though this is a comic board, posters aren't limited to trading just comics. You can list comics, CCGs, trading cards, posters, magazines, music, movies, toys...or anything else you can think of. I'm sure somebody has something you need.
5) List good/bad traders if you'd like, but that's not a requirement.
6) Even though there isn't money changing hands, you're still going to have to pay for shipping, so minors should get a parent's permission before doing anything.
And remember, NO SELLING!!!!!!!!!
If anyone remembers any rules that I failed to put up, just let me know and I'll edit the post.
Now have fun!!
Rob R.

Women with Severe and Moderate Hemophilia A and B and Other Bleeding Disorders: A Grounded Theory Study
This study will collect data from interviews with women who have moderate or severe hemophilia or another congenital bleeding disorder. Participants will be asked to express the impact that a congenital bleeding disorder has on the development and maintenance of identity and social relationships. It will provide women a chance to share how they feel about the impact that living with a bleeding disorder has on their lives. The results of this study will be of benefit to treatment providers and the entire community as we come to better understand the unique experiences of this segment of the bleeding disorders population.
Click Here to Learn About Previously Funded Recipients
All grant and fellowship applications are subjected to a rigorous peer review process. Applications are critiqued on scientific merit and relevance to NHF research priorities. Applications are reviewed and scored in terms of significance, approach, innovation, investigator, and environment. A panel selected by the Research Working Group, a volunteer group of scientific and lay leaders, reviews applications received. The NHF Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC) and the NHF Board of Directors grant final funding approval.
EligibilityTo be eligible for the fellowship the applicant must: be an MSW from an accredited school of social work or be a student in a DSW program or have a master's degree in a social work related field, be licensed by the state to practice as a master's level clinical social worker and work in a bleeding disorders program. Professional experience in a hemophilia treatment center is desirable but not required. The proposed project, however, must have relevance to current practice in bleeding disorders care and may incorporate casework, group work, organizational and public health, education and research perspectives.
It is expected that the project will: (1) promote the integration of psychosocial care with biomedical components of comprehensive care; (2) promote the delivery of quality services to patients and families; (3) contribute to the literature on the psychosocial aspects of bleeding disorders; (4) demonstrate social work outcomes of the research or clinical project.
Areas of research interest might include some of the following topics: impact of social work practice on coping with chronic illness and/or disability; impact of case management on patient care; improved clinical practice; research skills and goals for psychosocial providers; mental health issues of those affected with bleeding disorders or bleeding disorders/HIV; development and use of media projects and/or learning tools for professional or patient evaluation. A focus on cultural diversity is welcomed.
Funding NHF awards one new research fellowship per year of $10,000.
A letter of intent should be submitted to NHF. This should be a brief letter identifying the applying researcher and organization and the intended area of research.
Multidisciplinary applications are welcomed. If a multidisciplinary project is sought, you are encouraged to indicate in the letter of intent and in the application how the project would proceed if only one Fellowship is awarded.

The Canucks don't want to follow up a lousy loss to Columbus with a lousy loss to the Islanders.
I initially started to reply to a comment from metsgiants3380 on my previous FanPost, but as it started getting a bit wordy and excessive, I decided it had enough to become its own FanPost. In...
A parody TV series based on the Islanders and their repeated troubles acquiring veteran players.
These festivities are brought to you by, come on you all know his name- Mark Gandler! Wow... has it been a year already? Well, look at your calendar- its the third week of July! That, as Im sure you all know, is the traditional "Yashin back to the NHL" week. ♫♪ ♫ Its the most... predictable tiiiime of the year! ♪ ♫ For those of you interested in taking a trip down memory lane to "Yashin back to the NHL" rumors of years past while we get ready to play again this year, check the link in the title to find some previous "Yashin back to the NHL" stories that are sure to get you into the holiday spirit. Like any other traditional holiday week, "Yashin back to the NHL" always goes the same way- Yashin has a super-cool, concrete/solid/etc offer from an NHL team (usually hinted to be the Islanders, but any team will do) for (lots of?) money, comparisons are made to Jagr or some other older (preferably Russian or former eastern bloc) player(s), but then Yash ultimately decides not to take it. Sure, you know EXACTLY how its gonna go... but you know how St Patricks Day is gonna go too- and that doesnt stop you! Dont let the complete and utter predictibility of this annual holiday take away from the tradition and deep, profound meaning that is behind the "Yashin coming back" spirit. So... get out those turtlenecks and old CMC Yash jerseys, everyone! Celebrate like its 2007!
NBC News report on Nassau Coliseum asbestos and possible lawsuit by workers against county.
I'm a little sickened with this Canucks team that STILL seems content to be a 500 hockey team.
I hope that anyone from here that is going to the game gets in on this and can possibly win one!
The Nets and Barclays Center are actively looking into making the Brooklyn arena more attractive for NHL hockey, both in terms of capacity and sight lines.
Another pro-new arena piece. I saw this floating around on the Twitters earlier and decided to share this.
Via the NY Post: While Brooks is often off the mark with the Isles, his take on the '93 team and the aftermath of the Hunter cheap shot really hits the mark. Notable quotes: "The NHL's celebration of Dale Hunter as part of its playoff "History Will Be Made" promotion is nothing less than sickening." "Understand that a healthy, undamaged Turgeon never in a million years would have been traded to the Canadiens for Kirk Muller less than two years later in the deal that debilitated the organization."

Chicken Express - Absolutely the WORST Customer Service
Posted by Icaria on 12/05/2008
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- I used to be a frequent customer of Chicken Express. At lunch yesterday my nephew visited the Chicken Express at I-40 and Grand in Amarillo, TX. He ordered a sweet tea with half and half and discovered he had received an unsweetened tea when he reached his car to leave. He immediately went back into the store ( receipt in hand ) and very kindly asked for a sweet tea. The lady behind the counter immediately started arguing with him telling him that he had indeed ordered unsweetened tea. My nephew asked to speak to a manager and the lady then begin yelling at him, calling him a liar and stated that she was the owner. ( Found out later she actually is the owner ). She argued for at least 5 minutes over a. 90 drink. Ask yourself, why would anyone who does not drink unsweetened tea order an unsweetened tea?
Why would anyone wish to waste time during their lunch hour returning something that they really had wanted in the first place? He barely has a half hour for lunch before he has to start driving back to school. Why would he waste his time arguing with this lady over tea? It makes no sense. Does she feel that there is no possible way that she could have made a small mistake and filled his cup with unsweetened tea? Everyone makes mistakes. We are all human. All she had to do was replace his tea with sweet tea. He was so upset to have this lady screaming in his face in front of all the other customers, he ended up spilling his tea and leaving the store empty handed.
One thing you need to understand is that my nephew is a teenage boy. He is 17 years old. I am quite sure that if I had claimed to have received the wrong order, I would have been treated differently. I am a 39 year old business executive who drives a nice car and wears nice clothes. I strongly feel this was discrimination against our younger generation. I'm sure that Chicken Express is flooded with teenagers when the school lets out for lunch. Some may be loud. Some may act up in the store. Who knows? But this is not the way my nephew acts. He is a well mannered young man that receives straight A's in school. And, although my nephew is young, he is still a person and is still a customer. He deserves to be treated with respect and dignity just as anyone else.
He and his friends visited Chicken Express on a daily basis for lunch. He never intended for such a small problem ( receiving the wrong drink ) to turn into something like this. He simply wanted the. 90 sweet tea that he had ordered. To be belittled, yelled at, called a liar in front of all the other customers over something like this was not what he intended. This lady is rude, hateful, and obviously sees nothing wrong with yelling and arguing with the same people that pay her paycheck. She seriously needs to take a customer service training course or at least read a book on the subject. Although she upset him so much, he still had to return to school and try his best to concentrate on his work. He came home from school still upset over this matter.
I attempted unsuccessfully to resolve this matter myself today during lunch. I went to Chicken Express and asked to speak to the owner. Once the owner was done "chain-smoking" at the back of the restaurant ( which by the way she didn't even wash her hands afterwards ), I explained to her that I was upset with the way she treated my nephew. In turn, she immediately started yelling at me, sticking to her guns that he was the one that made the mistake and that she simply gave him what he ordered. She also stated that she has the entire incident recorded on tape. I wish she would play this tape. I would love for everyone to see how this grown woman acted over a. 90 tea. I asked her if it wouldn't have been much easier to have simply poured him a new drink. I mean isn't the customer whom she is serving?
I have since filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and called their corporate office ( which turned out to be a husband and wife team who answered their home phone with a simple "hello"). I actually had to ask "Is this Chicken Express?" and was told "Yep". Wow. It seems the professional attitude starts at the top and finds it's way down the chain.

Why didn't he just dump some sugar in it, while he was in there, and call it a day?
I had tried Chicken Express awhile back (did a review on it)
and was amazed that the chicken had absolutely no taste to it at all.

C2O, I thought everything tastes like chicken?
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-12-06:
I did too John. That is, until I visited the home of the rapid chicken. I had the tenders. Maybe if you feast on other parts of the bird you might taste something. I'm thinking the feet and beaks may hold some flavor.
Sweet tea and a plate of beaks.... I'm kinda hungry!
Posted by Icaria on 2008-12-06:
That's a great idea C2O. Too bad his magic crystal ball didn't warn him beforehand that he would be dealing with a psycho. I'm sure if he knew this prior to requesting he be given the correct order he would have simply added sugar.
Posted by grandma005 on 2008-12-06:
I was born and lived most of my childhood in the southern state of Georgia. In the south sweet tea is Lipton tea and plenty of sugar. When they say sweet tea they are not kidding. Sweet tea does not have any milk or half and half in it. When he ordered sweet tea with half and half she probably thought that he wanted hot tea. In California I have learned to drink hot tea plain without sugar and milk but some people put half and half in it and sugar too.

Chicken Express just opened there first store in the Houston area in Cinco Ranch in Katy, TX. Price SHOCK at first (expensive structure and a limestone garbage containment area..really???). Then it was menu options...geez, NOTHING healthy?. Okay, so I opt for the tenders and gravy. Cold and absolutely no taste. This place makes chicken that doesn't even taste like chicken.
Posted by Ann on 2012-08-15:
I recently went to Chicken Express in Plainview, as I often do, and ordered a 4 piece chicken tender dinner to go. When I got home there was only 2 pieces of chicken in the box, not 4. The next day I went back and thought at the very least they would give me a free drink, but NO. I was told that I had to call in the same day of the order. What hog wash!!!!!! I have never been so unhappy with an establishment. They said that was their policy and I SAY "Is it their policy to cheat people???"
Posted by Very unhappy on 2013-02-07:
I went to the location in Little Elm, TX and. The store manager was at the register. I wasn't ready to order yet so I ask him to give me a minute. While waiting, he goes into his office and takes a bite of food. He didn't wash his hand or even finish chewing before he came over to take my order. Can you say nasty? When I asked one of the regular employees to help, he snapped telling her to go back and do what he asked her to do. He was mean to me and the customer behind me. I did leave but explained to him being mean and nasty is how you lose customers. He went on to say that he was the store manager and it didn't matter. There was so much wrong with this visit and furthermore, the store manager (Robert) looked as if eating is what he shouldn't be doing. It's clear from his appearance that he has had a few to many chicken tenders. If eating Chicken Express will have me looking like this, I'm willing to say "NO THANK YOU"!

I got an order of Chicken Gizzards at the Burleson locatation. The first one that I started eating on tasted funny. When I look it was GREEN! This was not to celebrate St. Patrick's Day either. This was a bad gizzard. I put the whole box in my frezzer for safe keeping. Wonder what the news media would say about serving rotten food. Never again will I eat at Chicken Express.
Posted by Laughing on 2013-07-17:
I am laughing over the looooooonnnnnnng complaint about the nephew and tea. Now this is some hypersensitive people who have nothing else to so but write a book about their nephew getting bad service and being mistreated. Can't the boy stand up for himself? Let HIM learn by giving the situation to him. I mean, seriously? The complaint goes on and on and on! For a minute I thought the writer was going to say that his nephew was mentally handicapped, and I was about to have compassion. But wait... no, he was a mere 17 yr old. I couldn't believe it! I feel more sorry for what he's NOT learning through this! Get a grip folks!
Posted by Trish on 2013-08-01:
It hasnt changed from the lousy service to the rotten food to wrong or incomplete orders. I wont go on and on but I will say that I will not return to that store againand the lady that is responding or talking about her 17 year old nephew she has every right give it a break people

Order myself some lunch at chicken express in keller, Texas. North Beach location. Order the gizzard combo meal and received a couple of gizzards that were a green color and really hard, looked under the green part to see a white film that looked alittle fuzzy mold like. Went back and was told sorry and that if i ate the food i would be okay. It would not make me sick! I told him i will never eat here again and he said sorry and okay. Wish i could post the pics i have of this. Gross!

I am (was) a first time visitor. I tried the Highland Village location. Ordered takeout, drove home in rush hour traffic, sat at the table only to find my order incomplete. Drove back in rush hour traffic to return the incomplete order which is now cold and requested a refund. OMG! The manager had to call the "GM" to get permission to refund my money, making me wait even longer because it was "company policy". Thank goodness I paid by credit card so was able to get my money back. According to the manager, had I paid cash, they would not issue me a refund - again, company policy. I won't be back because I refuse to do business with companies who steal money from cash paying customers who request a refund.

Poor Customer Service
Posted by Ktiblets on 08/10/2013
STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS -- I drove up around 6:00 on a Friday night and ordered the 8 piece mixed with two sides and a sweet tea. When I got to the window to pay, two high school or college aged kids said they were out of mixed, but had wings. I asked how long and they said 15-20 minutes. I had already paid when they told me this. They said they could substitute tenders (if I had wanted tenders I would have ordered tenders). At this point, I said fine. It is now 6:10 and I am in line and another young girl comes out and ask if I ordered the dark. I said no, and told her my story. She said she was looking for the person with dark, but the mixed should be ready by the time I got to the window. It is now around 6:14 and another young man comes out with my chicken. I said the young girl told me a few minutes ago that the mixed should be almost done. Ok, exact words from Robert, this is a "common problem" at this time. Really. So, I got his name, the young person in charge's name, the managers name and owners. No numbers can be given out, you have to go online. I decided to call Richie/Rickie, the manager working at this time. Again, exact words, we had 5 big orders before you and this does happen. Again, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT MY ORDER. I told the manager he should have said "I am sorry for your inconvenience". Period and simple. I do not care that this is a COMMON PROBLEM. But what a novel idea if this is common to adjust your cooking. He (Rickie), said we do not cook a lot in advance (continuing the excuses). Hello. Chicken EXPRESS. I did not get my sweet tea. Crappy, crappy service. I will not go back. They may be the only Chicken Express, but not the only game in town that sells chicken. Customer service training might be another idea.

Bone-in pieces of chicken take TIME to cook properly. I know I prefer my fried chicken to be free of pink meat and pink/red juices.
6:00 on payday seems to be a popular time for people to order chicken. I don't fault the restaurant for preferring to keep small amounts available but cook large or "huge" orders when they've been ordered.
You might try to go a little earlier or a little later, or even call ahead to order. You know, give them that 15-20 minutes' lead time.
As far as your sweet tea--you were there plenty long to make sure you got it. Go inside if you need to, or ask one of the employees who came to you.

Cooking Oil Over Used & Saturated in Chicken Fat
Posted by Barb.phillips333 on 07/07/2013
3506 N. MAIN STREET, TEXAS -- On my way home to Hutto from Rockwall, Tx, (250-Mile drive) today, 7/6/2013, I took the Loop around Temple, Tx to Hwy 95 to Taylor which is 8 miles from Hutto where I live. It was around 3:30 pm and I was tired and did not want to cook when I got home so I drove a little past the loop around downtown Taylor and saw a Chicken Express. Hooray...No cooking when I get home! I whipped in, went inside and ordered a 3 pc combo. Went back to the loop to 79, arrived home in Hutto, unloaded the car and was anxious to dine on still hot fried chicken.
First bite was chewed and swallowed with a noticeable burned taste…not from burned chicken, but from the taste of the oil. The chicken was so heavily saturated with oil that it coated my lips and teeth as though they had been coated with lard. The grease hit my stomach and it was not pleasant. I was no longer hungry but mad as you know what when I examined the chicken and noticed it was saturated in glistening grease. I pulled it apart and it was just dripping grease. I'm 65-yrs old and I know that the oil has been reused to the point that it is saturated in chicken fat from each previously cooked batch. A heart attack waiting to happen for a person my age. Well, the trash was waiting for this one for it was not even suitable for the dog. Close to $9 down the drain.
I called Chicken Express and spoke with the manager/owner of the franchise who insisted they changed their oil regularly. I said "Obviously your cooking staff is not aware of this rule, nor are they following it". She said I could drive back over for another order.."As if...". I refused and decided to write a review. I wonder if their " take-out" orders get the "over-used oil" orders and the sit down customers get the chicken cooked in fresh oil so they don't go to the counter to complain. Or, maybe the customers in Taylor, TX are accustomed to their chicken being fried in over-used oil. If you are hungry and driving through Taylor, TX, Chicken Express is not recommended. Go to the next town for chicken or try another eating place. I had to cook tonight. :-(

As you suspect, the oil has gone beyond it's usefulness both in taste and healthfulness. They obviously let the change of oil go by for some time. In most places, they change it on a regular basis, based on days in use. However, a good place will recognize that if you fry 100 orders a day you need to change it more often than if you only fry 10 per day. A good manager will inspect the oil daily before opening to discern how it is and change it if necessary, no matter how long it has been in use. Chicken Express was just "fluffing" you off. Just tell your friends of the experience and if they value their health, etc. etc.

Bad Food, Bad Customer Service, and Unsanitary.
Posted by Ctavay on 04/11/2013
SHERMAN, TEXAS -- Worst service I have ever gotten! I ordered a 4 piece chicken tender with one side and a drink, paid for it and received it within 1 minute of ordering. I enjoy fast food, but I at least want my fast food to be hot and not cold when I get it. The tenders and the roll was cold to eat and the tenders were very small, and the corn nuggets had a burnt taste to them; not to mention the tea I received was too light to be called tea but "sweet water" and when I tasted it, it tasted like it was made out of toilet water. It was so gross, I poured it out and got a fruit punch; the only good thing I had with me from them.
Then when I went back inside to complain about my food, I was completely ignored and the lady at the register acted as if it was the end of the world to replace my order with hot, fresh food and good customer service. I work in customer service too, and if I had treated my customers the way I was treated, my boss would have fired me on the spot. that kind of behavior is unacceptable. I have written a complaint to the store's manager so I hope he contacts me and replaces my food. if not then I will not be going into any chicken express again until there is a change in attitude or staff.

Worst Service Ever
Posted by Acaciasmom on 11/01/2008
PARIS, TEXAS -- This was the most awful place yet. We had just gotten done trick or treating and it was an hour before closing. when we went in the girl at the register had mad look on her face like she did not want us there. Then we placed our order and waited for our drinks but she ran to the back. Finally another girl walked up and we had to ask her for our drinks and she also had an attitude. In the meantime while waiting for our food I was observing the crew all flirting with what looked like the manager, they were all taking pictures and laughing (having a great time, but not with the customers).
Another family then entered the resturant and they got pretty much the same service. OK, everyone got there food and we settled in our and the other family's drinks were sweet tea, after 3min of eating I looked over and noticed the girl at the register dumping the tea down the drain, needless to say she did not even ask the customers if the would at least like some more before pouring out.We had to go back to the counter for silverware and so did the other family.
Well, the crew was all having fun with themselves, but the guys that looked like they may have been the cooks (I have nothing bad to say about those two guys). We again went to the counter to get a to go box and asked for 3 she gave us one and ran off so I had to stand there and wait for someone to walk by and ask for more. Needless to say this was my first time there since it opened here and this will be my last. We had no problem with the food, it was good eats, but those kids need some coustomer service training.
I work at a nearby restaurant and if we ever treated someone that way boy would we be in hot water, I am the manager and its my job to make sure my customers don't get treated that way, that is why I picked up on several of the things someone else might not have. IT WAS JUST THE MOST AWFUL SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD.

It was good eats? Did anyone have tenders? I tried them awhile back and that had absolutely no taste at all, which I thought was really weird. Hello Paris! I know some good people up there and one really good bad girl!

People who work with the public and are not happy with their jobs should find other jobs that will make them happy because it does make a difference to the customers and it has an effect on the reputation of the company.
The name "Chicken Express" doesn't even sound good enough for me to want to walk in, let alone eat there.
Posted by TGT101 on 2008-11-01:
So you got everything you wanted ... and it was the worst service ever? I could think of worse.
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-11-01:
I have to agree with TGT101 here, it doesn't seem like you had the worst service ever.... it sounds like you had your typical teenager service when they're working on a fun holiday like Halloween and are anxiously waiting to get the heck outta there so they can go egg some houses and cause trouble.

Tastes like chicken?
Posted by on 10/13/2008
I don't know how wide spread these Chicken Express places are, but I've been told by many people - "it's good! you've got to try their tenders!". So the other day while running errands I spotted one and decided to whip right in for some tenders to go.
Man, these are some chicken neck ringin' sons of guns! There was inside dining, parking with carhop service, and a 3 lane drive through. I order my tenders through the drive through because I figured I couldn't bring my cold beer in. Down the road I go! I grab a tender, take a bite, and I can't taste a thing! It's tasteless chicken! Plump breaded tender fried nuthin's! How could you ever complain though? Can't say it tastes like crap. You can't rave about it either. Couldn't claim it tasted great. Maybe with some condiments it would be alright. But condiments are like condoms to me... I don't use them! If food is prepared correctly it should need no additives. Thankfully I had a beer for flavor. Chew a little - drink a little - chew chew chew - drink a lot chew a little. You get the idea. I wish when asked about Chicken Express tenders I could state - "it tastes like chicken!" Heck, everything unknown tastes like chicken, except THEIR chicken.
Anyway, I finished them up just to stop the belly bumping the backbone thing, and made my way down to Lowes because they were advertising 'free hook up' on the radio. Boy, I guess I misunderstood that one, but that's a whole different review...

There were never any wrecks, as miraculous as that is.
And, I just had a thought, maybe it was rattlesnake. You know they have plenty of those around there.

They still have drive thru beer barns where you drive up into the building, but you have to open the bottle yourself once you drive off.
The new thing is these drive through places where you can get any frozen drink you want - coladas, ritas, etc. The drink is inside a sealed bag and comes with a cup, lid, and straw on the side. It's legal...

'People say I'm strident' - Comments
Mr. Dawkins should start a worldwide campaign against ignorance. Judging from the overwhleming response "Atheist Bus Campaign" have received, I am sure Mr. Dawkins will receive more than enough funds for any campaign he embarks on.
And he should not avoid his policy to "Take the bull by the horns".
Mr. Dawkins worldwide campaign hopefully would lay emphasis on
" Child indoctrination = Child abuse".

Dawkins critics are sounding shrill and strident. The way I look at it after reading thousands of comments most of which leapt to Richards' defense is that this is a short term set back.
He gets in the first punch, they reel, they build a strategy of trying to discredit him and "dead agent" him in the minds of his target audience.
Thing is, that strategy only works for a short period of time, a "yeah whatever" effect starts to take whenever that criticism is made. Eventually.
But how to shorten this lead time to balance?
Two ways I can think of:
1. Provoke the religious apologists to become even more shrill.
2. Don't provoke, just mock them and predict their response before they make it.
One of the highest ranking comments on one of the threads over on the Guardian was a send up of the shrill militant atheist argument.
Religion has a choleric temper, irritate it.

Maybe the only way to get faith heads to convert is to suggest to them that they will only truly understand atheism after they have experienced some form of atheistic revelation. Well it works for faith.

Dr Doctor-
2. Don't provoke, just mock them and predict their response before they make it.
Easy enough. All their responses seem to be simply variations on common themes. It's been a long time since I heard anything new from those who are attempting to counter what Dawkins has to say.

"We've all been brought up with the view that religion has some kind of special privileged status. You're not allowed to criticise it. And therefore, if you offer even a fairly mild criticism, it really does sound strident, because it violates this expectation that religion is out of bounds."
This is an observable fact.
It's the same with other topics people are brainwashed to consider untouchable, such as patriotism.

Yeah, sometimes I think it might be cool to not be constantly worried about something bad happening to me, but then I fear that my being cognizant of this helps in the prevention of bad things from happening to me.
So the bliss of ignorance (or delusion) may carry a heavy prize.

In a way Richard is in a no win situation, a bit like Darwin was. If he is accused of being "shrill" and "strident", it is because of the message he conveys. Cleopatra ( as per Shakespeare) may have punished the messenger about Mark Antony's mis-doings, (i.e. getting married, but not to her), but it is hardly a fitting way to further human knowledge.
Where is the so-called middle ground between faith and non-belief? Richard should stick to his line: (my paraphrase) " I respect that you hold those views, but I have no reason to believe they are true".

I'd like to pick up on something RD says in this piece:
If you were to actually travel around schools and universities and listen in on lectures about evolution you might find a fairly substantial fraction of young people, without knowing what it is they disapprove of, think they disapprove of it, because they've been brought up to
(I am assuming that RD is talking about the UK here, correct me if I am wrong)
I'd like to know WHO these young people are. Which "faith community / communities" are we talking about
Are they UK born and bred or immigrant'
We are always being told, and the figures bear it out, that christianity is on the wane in the UK. So if these young people are christian, one would expect their influence to wane also
I am just wondering if this is another example of the "polarisation" that is happening. Where, if you "go to church" you are more likely to be evangie and/or conservative.
Or is it simply a case that the evangies are getting more shrill and strident'

what you're saying is quite generally true for democracy; even though it is a system far from being perfect we are not encouraged nor allowed to even try of thinking something new...

EDIT: In my experience (as someone who abandoned faith), moderates are unconvincing and open to the (correct) accusation that they are hypocrites. What worked for me were the clear and well delivered rhetorical lines of Sam Harris and the cognitive dissonance caused by the Selfish Gene vs Harun Yahya. So I think it's good to be blunt.

In a recent interview, Richard was touted as "… possibly the worldâs most famous atheist." From some in the audience we would hear "Gasp! Not an atheist
I know the subject has been broached before, but to the religious of the world the word "atheist" is pejorative at the very mention. Like the comedienne who didnât believe in god, and it was okay with her mother as long as she wasnât an atheist.
The faithful are inured from childhood to throw up a wall of deaf ears to anyone defining themselves with that term. There are a great many folks that simply are unable to even begin to engage in any rational discussion on any subject with anyone they understand to be atheist. Richard himself has bemoaned the allusion of vileness and evil many cultures attach the word. But for those cultures, any insinuation of godlessness has that consequence.
Realizing that it is almost impossible to spontaneously bring a word into the lingua franca, how might we define ourselves in a way that has less historical association with the iniquity of your everyday, run-of-the-mill heretics and blasphemers?

As a Godless heretic myself, what kind of pussyfoot "middlegroud" description of me would be preferred? "99% agnostic?", "militant atheist?", "atheist fundamentalist?". My own preferred description of my viewpoint is evolutionary materialist.
God has no place in my world.

Comment 24 by David A Robertson
Just wondering - how did the debate with Lennox in Oxford go? Disappointed that there has been no mention of this repeat Huxley/Wilberforce clash here.
As regards Scottish Geologists comment - there is no doubt that there is an increased interest in the young (18-30). I find it very difficult to get older people to come to church or debate but the 18-30 age group are much more open minded. At the Hitchens/Lennox debate I sat in front of an older couple who before the debate opined that of course the older people would be religious and the younger ones atheist. In fact - when it came to voting it looked to me as though the vast majority of those supporting Lennox were younger.
Richards thoughts on why this is happening are interesting. I think he has either actually helped us (unwittingly) or does not understand what causes people to turn to God.

Child indoctrination is the most important issue in my opinion. There should be a campaign against it and it should say something like "freedom of the mind is a human right, say no to indoctrination".

Sorry, what God? You only think he "might" exist. I admire you for admitting your apparently new-found agnosticism. Perhaps you are one of the older doubters of which you write?

From the article:
Does he worry that the calibre of undergraduates is falling, as access to university is extended? "I've got to be terribly careful not to sound like an old fogey here. When I first started tutoring in the 1960s it was a great joy to me, to get enthusiastic pupils who were really keen and interested and a tutorial would be a real meeting of minds and a real conversation. That good feeling about it seemed to gradually disappear. But I would hesitate to blame the students for that, it could be that I was just growing jaded."
THIS is the part of the article I want to know more about. How, specifically, have things changed in this regard? Are students less curious, less argumentative, less impressive intellectually, what? Or is it more that, having taught so long, he's "seen it all before" or something of that nature?

I don't know about anyone else but I was just a little disappointed with this interview in The Guardian. I read through it first thing and thought "is that all"?
I was hoping the interviewer would cover more ground. Something on his track record of science education, including the well known books (though she may be a Guardian 'arty' type who hasn't read them!); his broader views on science, life, state of country; his plans for the future (and not just his last words - some way off I hope!).
Maybe its scope was meant to be a little limited but I would have hoped that a good interviewer could have probed a bit more - just for my interest!

what causes people to turn to God
Vulnerability, indoctrination and the need to feel special.
You want debate? Why do you never debate here? Lets do the virgin birth "prophecy" or the "fall" right here, right now! (Pause for anticipated silence).
Would you let an atheist come to your sunday school every week and present an alternative to your mythology? (How many people attend your crutch on a sunday any way?)

"Loved these - great quality (especially the card stock) and design. Only complaint was a tiny tiny ink spotch on some of the last few cards in our pack, but we had ordered plenty of extras and I doubt our guests would have noticed."
"We are using several items from this design collection and I am extremely pleased with every piece I've received thus far! The quality of the paper and the printing is excellent, and the design itself is very elegant. We changed the font on the front for our names to something more blocked and standard because my fiancé has an 'III' at the end of his name and the font looked great! Highly recommended!"
"The programs are very vibrant & the paper is great quality! The consultants did everything I requested plus they allowed me to add a friends & family section to the back of the programs. This was my 3rd order with WPD and I have been extremely satisfied!"
"Everyone absolutely loved this! I ordered this program in Shamrock. They were beautiful. The paper was thick, the printing very clear and appropriately sized, the design in person is better than online, and the customer service was fantastic. It also shipped very quickly after approving the proof."
"Nice selection of fonts. Pearl shimmer paper is great. Thick enough paper without being too thick. Printing quality was excellent. People have seen the program and love it. I, the bride, am quite happy with it, which we all know is what's most important. LOL"

This is a real man-pleasing dish!
Servings: 1 (9x5 inch) loaf
Difficulty: Easy
1 pound ground chuck
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 (3-ounce) can French fried onions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.
Press meat mixture into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, or shape into a loaf and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions; bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

A totally wonderful meatloaf recipe and the best I've ever made. I don't want to know the nutritional details of fat and calories but it is simply incredibly delicious. I used a glaze of catsup, dried mustard and brown sugar. I also added some chopped onion (about a half cup)

This is a very good recipe.. Since it is a bacon cheese burger meat loaf, I put half the ingredients into the loaf pan, then put two pickle spears down the center, then top with rest of ingredients as directed and bake.. I also add chopped onion and chopped green peppers to the meat. Love it.

A Phoenix man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after a burglary attempt resulted in the shooting death of his getaway driver.
Maricopa County prosecutors said Adrian De La Cruz, 29, entered his plea Wednesday.
Police said the shooting on March 30, 2013, involved an off-duty police officer outside a northwest Phoenix night club and left the suspect driver, 24-year-old Tomas G. Ramirez Gonzalez dead. De La Cruz was wounded. No one else was hurt.
Another suspect, Jose Chacon, 19, was booked into jail after police said he admitted to shooting a rifle during the incident. He faces a charge of first-degree murder during the commission of a crime.
Two Phoenix police officers were working off-duty as security at Hurricane Bay in the area of 4100 W. Bell Rd. One of the officers left at about 2 a.m. after the business closed. The second officer, Gary Schonfelder, stayed to provide security for the remaining two employees.
Shortly after 4 a.m., the manager and an employee left the club with Schonfelder, who is a 20-year veteran with the department. The officer had removed his uniform shirt and was wearing a black T-shirt, uniform pants and boots, according to Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
They saw two suspects in the bed of the officer's pickup truck trying to remove a small refrigerator that Schonfelder had purchased from the bar manager, Thompson said. The truck was parked near the front door. The two suspects fled to a SUV, which was parked a short distance from the pickup truck, and climbed in, Thompson said.
Schonfelder and the two employees of the night club ran toward the vehicle, where they saw two suspects on the passenger side and the driver pointing guns at them, Thompson said.
Schonfelder, who was armed with his service handgun, gave several commands for them to drop their weapons and identified himself as a police officer, Thompson said.
The car started to back up and the suspects continued to point their weapons at Schonfelder and night club employees. As a result of the imminent deadly threat to himself and the other two men, Schonfelder fired multiple rounds at the suspects, Thompson said.
Hearing the gunfire, bar employee Fidencio Martinez, who also had a handgun, fired at the suspects, Thompson said. The manager, who was unarmed, called 911.
Gonzalez placed the vehicle in park, got out and collapsed a short distance from the vehicle. Schonfelder ordered the other two suspects of the vehicle to get out and get on the ground, Thompson said. They complied and responding officers assisted with taking the suspects into custody.
During a police interview, Chacon said Gonzalez had asked him and his brother, De La Cruz, to go with him to the bar to confront a person who owed him money. They had planned to drive the person to an ATM to get the cash, Chacon told police.
While waiting for the person to emerge from the bar, Chacon said they noticed Schonfelder and Martinez loading the refrigerator in the truck. Chacon said Gonzalez then decided to steal the refrigerator, which ultimately led to the shooting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SkeeterZX200 Great Product Great product, I like the way the light fits under the bill of your cap, and when tilted it doesn't block your vision. This is not a super bright light but it provides more than enough light to find your way to and from your treestand in the darkness. November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GregL Night seeker RGB Throws good light for it's size and the additional colors are a bonus October 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by peariverdrifters Nice light Overall this is a nice light for the money. My only wish is that it had dual white leds instead of just the one, and that you could wear it underneath the bill of your hat instead of on top sticking up. Have used for blood trail and worked pretty well too. Good buy for the price. January 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by aamjones good hat light I have used this light for about a month now with no problems. The red and blue LED's could be brighter, but the green and white are very good. Once you have put it on your hat you can adjust it. I would give it 5 stars if the blue and red were brighter. October 14, 2011

Hello, i have been reading a lot lately how to minimize the reflux symtoms to my 2 1/2 months old baby. she was born 8 days after her due date (i am mentioning this as i read that acid reflux is more common in preemies). she used to spit up usually and she was gaining weight perfectly. then she started spitting up / vomiting all what she got in a meal. I breasfeed her. i called her doctor, and they told me it's reflux and give me medication "Reglan 5 mg / 5ml" which i am not sure if i shpuld continue to give to her anymore as it has neuro - psychological side affects. Does anyone used this medication before? or can you please help me what to do?

Typedepot is a small type foundry currently based in Sofia, Bulgaria, founded by Alexander Nedelev and Veronika Slavova in 2009.
We've created Typedepot after the creation of our first font Glide, and since then we've started production of several new typefaces.
The main focus of Typedepot is to design original typefaces for retail and custom use. The foundry leans in the direction of contemporary type forms both for screen and print use.
